Crazy Quiltin'

This is what I've finished as of this morning. My embroidery still needs a bit of work but I think the more I do the better I'll get. (that's the plan!! LOL)

While at my quilt class I told you the teacher asked us to bring in show and tell. A woman brought in this crazy quilt that her grandmother made. The date embroidered on the quilt was 1885 and the appraiser agreed with that time frame. She did say sometimes dates on these types of quilts do not always represent when it was made but rather to mark an occasion, such as a birth, death or marriage.

Since I'm working on the wool crazy quilt this was a joy to see!

I love the fan and am pretty sure I'll work one into my WCQ.

Look what is attempting to bloom in my backyard! Can spring be far behind?

I have always thought that if I made a crazy quilt, it would include a fan. I just think a fan belongs. I think your wool crazy is going to be a winner. It is prim style, so I don't think the embroidery stitches have to be as nice as in a formal crazy quilt.

I love looking at crazy quilts. Don't know if I have the patience to do one. I'd probably cheat and do all the decorative stitches on my sewing machine. Your quilt is coming along wonderfully. I love the angel on it!!

Your CQ is looking amazing!! Someday maybe your great grand daughter will be taking your CQ to her quilt group to show them your talents a hundred years from now!! I can see it happening!! Makes you want to put in a few extra stitches doesn't it!! Love it!! Keep sharing!Paulette

Yahoo for you, I do believe spring must be nearly there. Love what you've done so far on the wool project. I used to be interested in crazy quilting but no more. How wonderful to have seen the antique.
